Art, on second thought, I googled "fire extinguisher port", and found this good Boat US article which says blindly spraying into an engine box is useless, unless it is a gaseous type that removes the oxygen.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion Shawn. The Tartan 34 C
has the engine sitting in the middle of the main salon under a small
settee and half buried in the bilge. There is no adjacent bulkhead other
than the battery box which is jammed full. I have returned the
Extinquisher to Hamilton Marine for credit.

Best Regards and Thanks
